Narrow sandwich boards?

[Colin]

Anybody know of a supplier of narrow molded plastic sandwich boards which would be about 12" to 16" wide (x whatever height)?

The Plasticade Minicade 12" x 24" requires the sign to be stuck to the frame, so that's no good for my customer, they need to be able slide a coro sign in & out, as with the larger SimpoSign unit. The Plasticade Minicade Deluxe is a little too small, and won't take the thickness of coro.

Are you able to slide the poly in, or does it need to be stuck on?

narrowcade is made by plasticade, so probably the same issues arise

Sorry, we use Velcro tabs on these on 4 corners.

Why not get some plastic track and put some on top and bottom for their panel to slide in.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I think that the area where the sign goes is recessed. Also, these signs are going to be used in a public swimming pool area, and get tossed around a bit by staff, so a track would likely get broken. In the past I've custom-made them 16" x 16" 6mm Sintra SBs with an 8" plastic hinge-handle, but they get broken.

If the people are going to be as careless with the signs as you described, perhaps you shouldn't consider such lightweight materials. Why not just get the setup you like and use toggle bolts with butterfly wingnuts on the inside, so no one gets hurt when throwing them about ?? Make sure no thread goes more than 1/8" past the wingnut.

Just use the minicade with velcro.

Yes, it's looking like that might be the best option, I was just hoping to avoid the Velcro, in preference for a slide-in type like the SimpoSign.

Minicade

We sell the minicade and narrowcade here and offer reseller pricing.

One other option to consider is magnetic signs. At one time we sold a magnicade. It was a minicade with a galvanized steel sign blank screwed to the surface. Then regular magnetic sheeting could be used to for quick change signage on the minicade.
